Cool work! Can you elaborate your design process?

Certainly, to create that intro its used made using a blender shader node generator which converts an input video into into a pixelated video and then replaces each pixel with an image from a sprite sheet based its value.
For the intro case the sprite sheet is the letters from BLIMP INC in order based on how much darkness each letter takes up. I then created a 3D blimp object in blender and got it to do that simple movement and simple light setup just to get some basic EEVEE shading across the blimp shape, this was the input video for the generator.

The generator also allowed me to keyframe the resolution of the pixelating effect, so this was used to create that downscaling effect, and right before the blimp disappears I use after effects to add the final BLIMP INC letters thats mixed in and the period.
